It has come to this.

Methane is 20x more powerful at trapping heat than CO2, and also it recycles out of the atmosphere in just 12 years.

Maybe we should do something to reduce the billions of methane machines in the world (cows, pigs, etc). Not only would there not exist billions of these animals without human interference, many of these farm animals produce an abnormal amount of methane due to their crappy, corn-fed diet.

Humans gotta eat, but there are healthier options out there than corn fed farm animals (for both us, and the planet).

That if GM had collapsed, it would have created a huge vacuum, that would have rapidly been filled with new startups. The automotive industry could have gotten a big injection of "new" and we'd have maybe dozens of Tesla-like automotive companies.

Maybe this means that Android phones (non high end ones anyway, and especially Nexus ones) can go back to including SD card slots.

For most android phones, yes you do have to be in the Google Search app to use the voice functionality. However, in regards to the commercial you specified, that is the "Moto X" and it indeed follows voice commands even when the phone is asleep.

The Moto X has a low-power core that is always running and keeping the sensors awake, so it can do stuff like respond to movement or the "OK Google" command when it's asleep.

When both parties work together toward a common goal, we can put a man on the moon.

When both parties work against each other, and try to stop each other every step of the way purely for their own political agenda, we can't even launch a damn website.

It didn't even try to block this page.

I use Chrome at work and I created a little add-on to enhance an internal ticketing system we use. I distributed to others in my department.

Looks like come January this will be dead. I can still use it via the "load unpacked extension" option, but that'll make any kind of distribution a pain.

When I set up our QA Apple devices, I remember not even being able to use them until I created an Apple account. And then I wasn't able to use the App store until I put a real credit card on file (even though I had no intention of buying any apps).

An "IP-connected" TV is just 44 dollars away.

If they're taking flight, then they used too much helium.

Giving people treatment to diseases is great, but it's a short term solution. What happens in 10 years, if you're not around to give them treatment?

People in underdeveloped countries need to be able to self-sustain themselves. Even if they can't develop a treatment themselves, they should be able to economically support importing it. Education is what's needed for all of this, and the internet is the best tool for education.

So, we need both short term (giving them the treatment they need) and long term (giving them the tools they need to advance).

No one invited you here, Mr. Cook.

That's pretty impressive engineering. Think it allows Android to be installed on it? :)

It seems to me that this is purely just a very rich person having a fun side project. He's not planning on a fleet of submersible Tesla's or anything like that. He just wants a toy from his childhood fantasy.
